Victorinox Timekeeper - Red




Victorinox Timekeeper - Red, basically the same model as the 91mm Compact but with the added watch in the front scale. Introduced in 1992 and discontinued in 2007. The early models had Roman numerals on the watch dial while later ones had Arabic numerals like this one. The watch "pops" out of the scale to reveal a small button battery closure that also "pops" off for replacement. The liner underneath the watch has a cut-out where the battery housing sits. They originally came in these grey plastic boxes that were easily damaged or were chemically incompatible with some solvents and adhesives or other things so many are looking rather ragged. There is also a SwissChamp version with the same front scale and watch called a SuperTimer.
